I was thinking about something, maybe will be good for Doncic in his personal career, because Lebron will help him to be focused and in shape again, so in 25/26 maybe Lakers will have a chance to win the champs.

It's possible but I kind of doubt it.  Luka is probably one of the few people in the league with an ego that can match Lebron, I just can't imagine him changing who he is now that he's superstar.  If he really does idolize Lebron, though, then he might listen.  Should be interesting to see how they react to each other.  Who is going to be the alpha?  Who is going to have the ball in big moments?

It's also possible that this whole thing is a wake-up call for Luka.  He's one of the most talented NBA players ever but he just got traded at far below his actual value.  That has to sting somewhat.  Maybe he takes a look in the mirror.

The really funny thing is that Luka and Lebron are alike in so many ways but also very different.

Luka is never going to be a good defender while Lebron takes more defensive plays off every year as he gets older.  Both of them need the ball in their hands to be effective.  Both of them are very good at scoring, rebounding, and passing.  However, Lebron is all about preparation and execution and doesn't hesitate to throw his teammates under the bus if they make a mistake.  Luka is just like whatever, taking crazy shots all over the court.

They're also two of the biggest whiners over foul calls in the entire league.  People hate the Lakers now for all the calls they get but that's about to explode.
